THOMAS \U. SUDD'ARD,

OF TWO RIVERS, WISCONSIN, ASSIGNOR TO HAMILTON MANUFACTURING COMPANY, OF TWO RIVERS, WISCONSIN, A CORPORATION OF WISCONSIN.

PRINTERS GALLEY.

Application filed November 20, 1912.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, THOMAS W. SUDDARD, citizen of the United States, residing at Two Rivers, in the county of Manitowoc and State of Visconsin, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Printers Galleys, of which the following is a full, clear, concise, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification.

My invention relates to printers galleys and has for its object the formation of a galley out of a single sheet of metal and in which galley side and end walls are integral and in which the'bottom is integral with the vertical Walls of the galley, the galley bottom being continued outwardly beyond the vertical galley walls, which walls are provided with. outwardly bulged continuations adjacent the galley is afforded between the galley walls and the galley bottom, such spacing permitting the type received in the galley to rest in perfect alinement and preventing such type from binding so that it may be readily removed.

My invention dispenses with the special formation which was hitherto required in order to unite the side and end walls of the galley which, in prior galleys of the construction described, were not continually integral, and which special formation was of a complicated nature requiring expensive tools and considerable labor.

I will explain my invention more fully by reference to the accompanying drawing showing the preferred embodiment thereof and in which Figure 1 is a plan view, on a reduced scale,

of a galley formed in accordance with the invention; Fig. 2 1s a sectional view on line 2 2 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a sectional view on line 3 3 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 4 is a sectional plan view, on a larger scale, taken on line t a of Fig. 2 at a vertical corner of the galley.

Like parts are indicated by similar characters of reference throughout the different figures.

A piece of suitable sheet metal, rectangu lar in form, is employed which is formed into the shape illustrated to constitute a galley having a bottom wall a, two side walls I) b and an end wall 0. The side walls I) and bottom whereby spacing Y Specification of Letters Patent.

the end wall 0 are integral at the rear vertical corner portions of the galley as indicated clearly in Figs. 1 and 4 and the bottom is integral with the vertical walls 7), b, c of the galley, the bottom being continued outwardly beyond the vertical galley walls as indicated at d, while the walls are provided with outwardly bulging continuations c that are integral with the bottom portions (Z. By this construction spacing f is afforded between the vertical galley walls and the bottom, such spacing avoiding the rounded corners within the type receiving space of the galley, which rounded corners would prevent the type from snugly engaging the side walls and from being held level upon the bottom.

In the process of manufacture of the galley a piece of sheet metal is put through a blanking die which cuts out a blank of the right shape required to make the galley. Ihis blank is then fed between dies which form it into the shape of a pan, in one operation. The pan is then placed between dies which form the corners just as they appear in the finished product illustrated in the drawing. After the corners are formed the outsetting recesses at the bases thereof are continued along the end and side margins of the galley base which are indicated at f, a separate operation being required in forming each spacing f.

The advantages which are obtained by means of my improved galley are secured by the simple formation thereof illustrated due to the absence of seams or splits between the rear wall and the side walls, the presence of such seams or splits requiring complicated or expensive procedure to prevent the separation of the side and rear walls at the rear corners.

Having thus described my invention I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent the following:-

A rectangular printers galley-including a bottom and straight side and end walls formed of a single piece of sheet metal, the side and end walls being integral at the vertical corner portions of the galley and being integral with the bottom of the galley which is continued outwardly beyond the vertical galley walls and corners while said walls and corners are provided with outwardly bulging continuations along their lower portions, these latter continuation's my name this 28th day of October A. D., with the outward eontinuationsof the galley 1912.

bottom whereby spacing is ofiorded between the galley bottom and sides, which spa'c ing continues around the galley at the corners Wit esses:

thereof. GEO. S. HAMILTON In Witness whereof, I hereunto subscribe S. I. CADY.
